Commission approves purchase of asphalt compactor and two solid-waste trailers; surplus three trailers
Summary
Commission approved buying a 55-inch tandem steel-wheel compaction roller (option C) after testing showed better breakdown compaction, and approved surplus of three old trailers plus purchase of two new 8'3"×16' trailers at $4,200 each (total $8,400).
Jackson County commissioners on July 13 approved several public-works and solid-waste purchases recommended by staff.
County engineer recommended option C — a 55-inch tandem steel-wheel compaction roller — after a rental trial indicated pneumatic rollers left residual marks during initial breakdown compaction. The price discussed for the recommended option was listed at approximately $4,750 in the packet; commissioners asked technical questions about compaction and longevity and approved the purchase by voice vote.
The Solid Waste Director asked to surplus three aging trailers and to purchase two new trailers (listed as 8'3" × 16' at $4,200 each). The commission approved the surplus declaration and authorized purchase of the two trailers (total ~$8,400) by voice vote.
The commission also discussed contract language for mortuary transport services in the work session and agreed to add that contract to the work-session follow-up if vendor terms require further negotiation.
